Ocean Breeze Resort Khaolak

A charming 3-star resort. We were looking for something more affordable and still on the beach, as Moracea had become too expensive for us. Well, we couldn't have picked a more beautiful place. Such great value for the money, and right on the seashore. Absolutely gorgeous. The gardens are immaculate. A quick 8-minute walk and you're right in the middle of town, with restaurants and shops along the way. There's also a supermarket on the corner, when reaching the main road. The rooms are clean, fresh, and bright, but there's still room for additional improvement/renovation especially the showers which were spacious, clean and functional, but a little run down. It didn't bother us though at all, just stating the fact. Our room didn't have USB ports, so I'm glad we brought our travel adapters. Not sure if the other rooms have been upgraded with those yet. The pools are spotless, but the one ladder is a bit rickety. The lounger area is impeccable but a bit on the small side, so it does get a tad crowded. Reserving a spot with towels etc. is not permitted (thank goodness), so be early-ish to get your spot. We did notice a lot of smokers but were able to avoid them mostly. Anyway, there are bean bags on the beach which also get some partial shade. June, the FB manager, and his team were splendid and consistently went above and beyond. There's a 'Happy Hour' twice a day and I was able to try some cocktails that I'd never had. Ridiculously cheap and no holding back on the ingredients/alcohol lol! We asked for a tuna sandwich that wasn't even on the menu and Chef Duke and his kitchen crew made it possible - nothing was too much. It was an absolute treat to be spoilt by them and treated to such delicious food. Everything was fresh and the daily evening barbeque was exactly what I had hoped for, regarding the various dishes and the astounding quality. We did go out for dinner now and again but preferred to eat there. There was a light/fire show on Saturday evening. One needed to make a reservation and it was a treat. Oh, and the sunsets are stunning. The restaurant has tables situated on the beach as well, and when the tide is in, the waves lapping on the shore are just a couple of meters away. The lovely ladies at the reception did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible and the cleaning team was amazing and continually obliging, always supplying us with towels, bottles of water, and just whatever was needed. Yes, there is a new hotel being worked on next door, but the occasional construction noise really didn't bother us at all. David and his crew are doing a great job. We can highly recommend this resort and look forward to coming again soon.

The resort and pool looked very nice, we stayed close by but came here for the beach front Hippie Bar and enjoyed a drink and some food while watching the sun set. Lovely setting, nice fish dinner and good prices.
